BLESSINGS FROM ABOVE
Memorise:
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn And wine; also his heaven shall drop down dew. Deuteronomy 33:28
Bible in one year: Hebrews 5:10-8:13, Psalms 24
MESSAGE
There
are different kinds of blessings, but there is a kind of blessing that
comes from God alone. This is the blessing that has no boundary. It is
from above where God sits to coordinate the affairs of His people.
Today, the blessing of God will locate you wherever you are in Jesus'
name. If you must prosper the way God desires, you cannot afford to
ignore the presence of God.
Those
who have succeeded exceedingly in life are those whose source of
blessing is God. When the presence of God is with you, He causes
whatever you lay your hands upon to prosper. With little effort, you
enjoy great favour and you become a channel of blessings to others
around you.
If
you study the biblical men of faith; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you will
notice that God was not only interested in giving them blessings that
will be sufficient for them alone, He was interested in blessing them to
a point that they become channels of blessings to others. Do you know
God can bless you so much that your driver becomes a millionaire just
from driving you? He told Abraham.
"And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shall be a blessing"
Genesis 12:2
The
blessing that came from above into the life of Abraham made a great
nation out of him. That blessing gave him such a great name that there
was no nation where his name was not known. The name attracted so many
blessings to his life that he became a great possessor of vast expanses
of land and today, his seed are all over the world. God can make you a
man or woman of great wealth and power. No matter how dry your ground
may be at the moment; He can raise greatness out of it and make your
little one become a thousand. The outpouring of God's blessing upon your
life can move you beyond the point of daily provision and mere
survival, to the point in which you become the talk of nations because
of how frightening your blessings have become. Peter who toiled all
night and caught nothing became the talk of the town when he experienced
a net-breaking blessing. I have always said that a day is coming and
that season is here for a reader of this devotional, that when you take
your money to the bank, the bank manager will order that the branch be
shut down for three days to other customers just because they are
attending to you.
For
you to achieve this level of blessing, you need to understand that it
will not come easy, but you need not be discouraged because God is ever
faithful and He knows the path to take you through to get there. God is
the fountain of all honour and it is from Him that promotion comes. What
you are going through at the moment may not show that you are a
candidate for this kind of blessing but you need to know that the plan
and purpose of God for your life cannot be denied. Your faith and
obedience will be tried. You need to be separated and set aside for God
alone.
Those
who forsake their sins and turn to God will get blessings that they
never bargained for. You have to take your mind off the mundane things
of this world and step up into the higher ground of what God is prepared
to do with your life.
Key Point
Until there is a departure from the little things, there will be no discovery of greater things.
